There's no denying that Florida has fantastic weather year round for that long dreamed of outdoor wedding. As wonderful as our climate is however, is does tend to lead to the occasional afternoon shower....okay, sometimes the afternoon DOWNPOUR!
Sure, every bride to be has her wedding day envisioned in her head from processional to pronouncement and onto the festivities, but try as we may we cannot avoid Mother Natures occasional temper tantrums and a backup plan should not be an option, but rather a necessity in the planning of your ceremony. If there is no structure in the vacinity in which to take cover should the skies open up, then perhaps investing in a tent would be a wise option.
Think about giving your reception venue the heads up that if it should rain, the ceremony will be moved there as well. If nothing else, have a relative who is willing to move the ceremony to their home at a moments notice. Make sure when planning an outdoor wedding that your guests are advised of the backup plan. You don't want realatives who have driven in from lord knows where to be in a tailspin wondering what to do.
I know, I know this sounds like a common sense type of post, but trust me...it is sometimes an element that is overlooked until the very last minute; usually when uncle Joe is watching the radar and asks "hey..what happens if"?
Have a backup plan and an officiant who is aware of said plan and also willing to move at a moments notice.
